Google's First 4G Nexus Phone Is Coming To Sprint

A 4G version of Google's Nexus S Android phone is coming to Sprint this spring.

The phone is essentially the same device as the Nexus S that Samsung and Google released last year, but will be able to access Sprint's 4G network.

We love the original Nexus S, not so much for the hardware, but its ease of use. It has a clean version of Android 2.3 Gingerbread, meaning there are no modifications from the carrier or manufacturer. It's the experience Google wants you to have.

There's still no word on a specific release date or pricing for the phone, but we may get more details at the CTIA Wireless Show this week.
